how do you see governor romney? >> i'm bias on this. can governor romney identify with the common person? i spent time with him in 2006-2007 while writing the book, and i found him to be approachable and ordinary, even though he was rich then and he's rich now. i do not believe that people know that he really started out in life -- george romney started with nothing, zero, zip, penniless, driving across the country, never went to college, grew up in the automobile industry, served in wartime, took over the automobile industry, took over rambler, american motors, made himself good money, but not enormous for those years, and became the governor of michigan, left his son a good legacy of education and some capital, and mitt romney turned that into an extraordinary fortune, but he and ann lived on a budget when they were young, and what i think most appealing about him is the five boys of whom i met three, and mrs. romney, whom i met, and they are an ordinary american family. they are just -- imagine five boys running around at the age of

so we wasn't to the president and governor romney directly in ipair of interviews for "60 minutes," steve kroft and i asked about their medicare plans. >> what i won't do is take governor romney and congressman ryan's recommendations to turn medicare into a voucher system which would dump more costs on to seniors. what i'm not willing to do is to pay for another tax cut for folks like you and me by cutting help to young people to go to college or basic research that might end up providing cures for debilitating diseases. that's not a recipe for growth and we can reduce our deficit, including making some smart decisions on medicare in particular, where we're focused on lowering health care costs by reforming how health care is delivered but we don't need to be voucherizing the system to dump those costs on to seniors because, frankly, they can't afford it right now. >> pelley: there is a lot of rhetoric about medicare. what do you intend to do? >> well, i don't want any change to medicare for current seniors or for those that are nearing retirement. so the plan stays exactly same. >> pelle
